The River and HarbOr Bill.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-At the last
session of congress a number of bills,
that had received favorable action of
the two houses, were laid before
the president on the last day, and
some of those failed TO receive his
approval, mainly because there was
not sufficient time to give them prop
er examination prior to dissolution OF
congress. Chief among these was
the river and harbor appropriation
bill. The friends of that measure
were very much disappointed on this
refusal of the president to sign the
bill, and after adjournment, made
vigorous efforts to convince him that
a measure passed on the last day of
the session could be legally signed by
the president within ten days allowed
by the constitution for his examina-
tion. River and harbor men were
persistent in their opportunities and
but the president refused
to adopt their views. 1t is reported
that this question will he presented
to the supreme court for adjudica-
tion, and that the court will be urged
to advance the case so that an early
decision will be made.

be the test, and the independent voter
Will not give the time or consideration
to his vote that it is just to suppose
he gives when the distraction OF a
presidential election and its accom-
panying noise is dinning in his ears.
Our state elections are very important;
1t is OF prime importance to Clatsop
county, to the state, to public policy,
to our interests that we get clean men
for judges, able men for the legisla-
ture, honest men In county Offices.
We have done pretty well in that re-
gard-better, perhaps, than If these
questions, so important to us, were
lost and swallowed up in the great ma
tional contest for party supremacy,
and if the question, who shall repre-
sent us at Salem ? were set aside by
the question, who will be for the next
four years in the White House ? the
result might not bewholly satisfactory
in local point of view.
THE Historian is in doubt as to the
third amendment, and commends TO
its readers a careful consideration of
the merits and dement's of the propo-
sition. Like the other two, it is a
proposition that demands thought and
elicits argument. Nothing is settled
till it is settled right: nothing is polit-
ically right that is morally wrong,
and any proposition to alter or change
the organic law of the commonwealth
requires full discussion as to the effect
intended and its actual, practical re-
suits.

TIME OF ELECTION.
BE 1T enacted by the House, and
Senate cO7lc,trri7lg:
That the following amendment to
the constitution of the state of Ore
gon be and hereby is proposed:
That section IA of article 2 of the
constitution of the state of Oregon
shall be as follows;
Section IA. General election shall
be held on the Tuesday next after the
first Monday in November biennially.
Passed the house November 19,
1886.
There appears some reason for favor
BILE argument regarding this amend
ment All the other states have
changed their summer and fall elec-
tions to November and we would sim
ply be in fashion 10y falling into line.
The election in June looks slightly
premature. Here We elected Binger
Hermann to congress so long ago that
seven out of ten have almost forgotten
it, and the seat to which he was
elected away back in June, 1886, will
not be filled by him till next December.
When Oregon was 1000 miles from
anywhere, such things might obtain,
but in these days of rapid transit, of
telegraphs and interstate inter-link-
ing, it looks somewhat behind the
times to go on with our June elections
as in days of old. In Clatsop county
a November election would tend to
give fairer expression of permanent
public opinion than in June, when
our population is augmented to a
transient degree that makes special
effort an apparent factor in the aug
mentation of maiorities. Our county
vote might not be so large in Novem-
Der, but it would manifestly be a
clearer index of popular judgment.
The arguments for the defeat of this
last proposed amendment are no less
cogent Ii our election is changed to

officers half the time in the heat and

OTHER AMENDMENTS.

OK the Sth of next month the quail
fed electors of this state will vote on
the adoption or rejection of three pro-
posed amendments to the constitu-
ton of Oregon. All three are on
questions of grave public policy. One
of them-the prohibitory amendment
has been discussed. The Historian
has opposed the passage OF that
amendment. and before election day
proposes to cite what it believes to be
additional argument against Its adop-
ton.
There are two other proposed
amendments to be voted upon the
same day, neither of which has had
much publicity nor discussion. Here
is one proposition:
SALARIES OF JUDGES.
Be 1T reSoloed by the Senate, the
House cOnc1LrTIflg:
That the following amendment to
the constitution of the state OF Ore
gon be and hereby is proposed:
ARTICLE III.
That section ! OF article 13 OF the
constitution of the state Of Oregon be
and hereby is abrogated, and In lieu
thereof section of article 13 OF the
constitution of the state of Oregon
shall be as follows:
Section 1. The governor, secretary
of state, judges of the supreme court,
and all other state officers of this state
shall each receive an annual salary
of snch sum as the legislative assem-
bly, shall hereafter by law for each OF
said officers provide; prooided, that
when the legislative assembly shall
have by law fixed the salary OF any
such officer such salary shall neither
be increased nor diminished during
the term for which the incumbent OF
such Office shall have been elected or
appointed.
Adopted by the senate February Is,
1885.
On its face this proposed amend
ment deserves to be beaten. The
placing by the people in the hands of
the legislature the power to fix the
salaries of the state officers enumer-
ated above would grant too much
power to that body; it would open
and pave the way for political jobs
and trades of all sorts; it looks like a
political trick, endorsed and advocat-
ed by,professional politicians, and the
people will probably refuse to dele
gate such unwarranted and unheard
Of power to their state legislature.
This amendment, if passed, will SIM
ply authorize ideals" at every session
OF the legislature, and as usual in
such cases "the longest pole would
knock the persimmons."
The Historian believes that the
present salaries Of our state officers
are too small; they are meager and
insufficient; If there were an amend
ment proposed to be voted on fixing
some definite annual compensation
say $4,000 or $4,000 for the governor,
and similar sum to the supreme
court judges, it would deserve en-
dorsement and passage, but the
amendment in its present shape has
bad smell; it looks suspicious, to say
the least, and the voters of Oregon
should, in our opinion, bury it out of
sight on the Sth of next month.
Here is another proposition:
TIME OF ELECTION.

fectcd,
SACO, Me, Sept. THE excitement
over the robbery of the Saco and Bedford
Savings Institution has shown ne signs
o. abatement. No clew to McNeill7's
hiding place has been found Bank Ex-
aminer Richards will be here today and
Investigate the losses. From the facts
that have been learned, Treasurer Kelly
and the other bank officers are led to &C.
CPpt q new theory regarding The robbery.
1t was thought yesterday thai McNeilv
must have studied the combination 10 the
steel chest inside the inner safe st
some previous time when the treasurer
WAS absent and kept his secret until his
plans were fully developed To-day the
bank officials think McNeilly confscated
the bonds on the Ist Of August while en-
gsged in cutting the coupons, and that he
die not get access to the security vault
on the day be left the bank. What dis
position he has made of the negotiable
bonds since August ! is not known, but
he has been making frequent trips
to Portland Of late, and it is
Supposed he has been taking
Steps to sell them. The $500
he stole was all IN the cash drawer in the
safe, but had he succeeded in working
the combination of the steel chest, he
could have taken millions Of money and
negotiable securities. This makes it
seem all the more probable that he did
not open the chest, but got the stolen
bonds on the 1st of gust when the
coupons were cut. Instead of the pack
age of bonds stolen, he left q dummy in
the shape of package of old letters.
